Tatfeen (Burial) during the times of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

My friend asked me a strange question that whether the kuffar and mushrikeen in the days of our Holy Prophet (SAWS) bury their dead or burned them. And if they buried them then are there any graves of kuffars like Abu Jahal and Abu Lahab in Mecca or Madina.

Even in the polytheistic culture of Mecca they used to bury their dead and not burn them.

There were many graves there;
abu jahal and others who were killed in the battle of badr were all put in the holes made in the ground at that time. And others were also buried the same way.
